Start Early...or Melt Trying

Beat the sun by starting your move in the early morning. The cooler temps between 8–10 AM can make a big difference in how you feel by midday.

Hydration is Non Negotiable

Pack a cooler with bottled water, electrolyte drinks, and even some frozen fruit. Staying hydrated prevents heat exhaustion and keeps your energy up.

Dress Smart (and Light)

Skip the jeans and hoodies. Wear light, breathable fabrics and sneakers with good grip. Bonus tip: dark colors absorb more heat go light and bright.

Know the Heat Hazards

Take care with items like candles, electronics, plants, and anything that can melt or warp. Transport those in an air-conditioned car, not the moving truck.

Plan for Breaks and Shade

Have a shaded rest area or indoor spot ready. Build short breaks into your move so nobody overheats, this goes for pets and kids, too.

Pack an “Essentials” Cooling Kit

Include cold towels, sunscreen, a handheld fan, and a change of clothes. You’ll thank yourself when that first box is labeled “refreshments.”

Call in the Pros

Don’t want to lift a finger (or a couch) in 95-degree heat? That’s what we’re here for. Our team moves efficiently and safely, even when the heat is on.

Pro Tip: Avoid the Afternoon Rush

Afternoon in Omaha? You’re looking at heat plus traffic. Finishing your move before lunch not only keeps you cool but keeps things moving smoothly.

Moving in August? Let’s Make It Chill.

We get it. August is a hot month to move. But with the right strategy (and the right movers), it doesn’t have to be miserable. Tetris Moving brings the muscle, the game plan, and the results to make your summer move smooth and stress-free.
